format war

Refers to a repetitive series of hot-headed and destructive actions whereby two or more people seethingly format a computer-disk or other media-storage device over and over to erase the previous user's files because each person either dislikes/disapproves of the content that the other users are storing on it, or each person selfishly/arrogantly feels that his own files are more important/necessary/virtuous than those of any of the device's other users.
I always bring extra floppy disks and/or flash-drives with me --- and clearly label them with my name --- to store my own files when I use the office computer, to hopefully avoid any format wars.

Mass Formation Psychosis

Mass Formation Psychosis is when rightist traitors who didn’t know Trump LOST the election and blindly believe there is mass voter fraud based on fear without any evidence, while putting their feelings above facts and emotion above patriotism.
Toothless Ted thinks there is mass voter fraud when there is no evidence and all voter frauds found so far were all Republican righties- sounds like he is living in fear, has delusion and Mass Formation Psychosis. Law and order. Justice is coming- Trump for prison 2024. Cry more and keep being triggered by facts- Biden won, Trump LOST, BIDEN IS YOUR PRESIDENT.
